Don't Tell The Kids

Yes, please don't tell the kids dear old Enid is blowing their inheritance.  They're liable to have me committed, or at least gin up an intervention, if they knew I bought a few silver coins today.  Not a lot, believe me, but when SLV plowed through $34.45 like a McCormick reaper on a half acre field, I got a tad heated.  So here's the plan:  as long as SLV is below $34.45, we'll dollar cost average a couple of coins each month and let the chips fall where they may.

The investment winds shifted unbelievably fast this week and we're likely to face our first test with a truly bearish market.  Our investments are long term proposistions.  I like to think we're sailing a fixed keel boat, not a centerboard board.  We have no sell signals for bonds and precious metals.  If need be, we'll sell other holdings based on either a 13/34 weekly moving average cross or dividend yield criteria.  At least as of tonight, nothing meets our "sell" criteria.
